I want to suggest some very good reading for
Charles - books that are good for anyone to have in one's
bookshelf... to read and re-read, as required - excellent
for those who need victory in their lives and equally good for
those who have learned how to have victory, but want to
understand more - and we all need that.

These books show steps that lead to
victorious living... to being overcomers... to finding
the ability to praise God and to be thankful for everything He
allows to be thrown at us, to seeing unwelcome
circumstances as stepping stones to maturity, to resting
in Christ who has already fought all our
battles for us.

The books show, in plain and inspired
language, how that it is not outward circumstances, other
people, or temptations put in our path that are the
cause of problems, but rather "our way of thinking" when
confronted by these things. God meant what He said,
"subject all thoughts to the obedience of Christ" (2 Cor 10:5)
and there are so many scriptures that tell us that He will change
the way we think - all the time.

The books are also filled with heart-warming
accounts and testimonies of those who have been delivered from
all kinds of bondages that previously held them back from
living the victorious life of an overcomer - from young
children to mature adults.

The author is qualified, both spiritually
and intellectually, and the emphasis is on Jesus as
Deliverer. The books are also written in a loving
manner.

The Bondage Breaker
covers how to find one's way in the world, how to
avoid living in the shadows, one's right to be free, how
to win the battle of the mind, and how Jesus has us
covered. Best to read this book first.

Set Free - this book
includes two sections: Part 1: Released from Bondage and Part
2: A Way of Escape (it is actually an amalgamation of two
originally separate books) - very good.

Publisher: Monarch Books

ISBN 1 85424 5740 and 1 85424 4124

The author has written other books - helpful
details are given in the books.

Charles (9
Feb 2012)"An urgent request for prayer
help"

I have a job where I serve the public. As we
grow closer to Jesus coming back and closer to the
tribulation I am always a phone call away from my life being
made awful. I am in one of those situations now. its not my
life I care about I want to focus on Jesus and warning
others and watching and praying and being a dad while I can.
The issue is that the evil one is playing hardball it seems
he creates issues and distractions when he cannot get us to
go back to sleep and follow the wide path to death everyone
seems content to follow. They do not get the truth to their
life that they have been deceived and have no hope in this
world so they vehemently attack anyone who says that
Judgment is coming and they have to turn from the world and
their sins need to be repented of that they have to humble
themselves. Thus world teaches women to dress up use makeup
and jewelry and flirt and men to chase women and be studly.
They teach that who dies with the biggest bank account
instead of the biggest heart wins. So basically going along
with the course of the world its entertainment, its
priorities believing that we can be the masters of our
destinies through technology and come to religion on our
terms instead of humbling ourselves before a all powerful
creator that is righteous and expects righteousness from his
created is dismissed out of hand.

So everyone is going along like they do not know judgment is
coming and that the mideast is going to explode and that
their actions are going to be judged and so they can be
manipulated at will by the god of this world into causing
grief for the saints watching and praying and trying to
separate themselves from the filth of this world until Jesus
comes. If they truly understood their entire life was a lie
and deception unto hell and death i.e. the wide path we
would see true repentance in the church. What we see except
for the occasional horrified repentant man or woman who
through the grace of God opens his eyes and sees that
everything has been made a perverted counterfeit of Gods
creation designed to lead us as sheep to slaughter is a
prideful Laodicean attitude that they got all their basis
covered and God is just another social contact on their to
do list. They taught astrology, makeup, writing, sports etc.
Anything to make us prideful in ourselves and lustful in the
flesh and that is the common attitude today. How can we warn
those who don't want to hear and help those that do not care
to notice the approaching fire.

I am in need of prayer for protection from just such an
attack designed to despair me of even life and keep me from
watching and praying. Please pray for my deliverance from
unreasonable men and women walking in the course of this
world to the vanity of their minds since all do not have
faith. I hate no one I am sick of trying to make people to
understand they evil one just wants us all to follow his
course to destruction and the path is paved with
entertainment and work projects and activities and the pride
that says we can solve our problems with our hands and our
intellect. The pride that says morality is relative. The
pride that says what we feel or think is the most important.
True wisdom comes in realizing we are a creation in bondage
to vanity and that we need to humble ourselves and follow
our good Shepherd out of the wolf pit.

Please pray for me that God will lift me out of the pit that
has been dug for me to fall into. For the despair I am
fighting I am trying to watch warn pray and clean myself of
my logs please pray I be saved from those walking in the
vanity of their minds the course of this world not knowing
they are in a pit with no way out except a dying to self
that leads to a humbling of pride that leads to
acknowledgement of sin and repentance to a savior. Please
pray for my deliverance from this vice that has been put
around me please pray for my son afraid of his shadow in the
dark. I just wanted to live for Jesus until He comes funny
the world does not want to let me. The thing is they do not
understand living for themselves they are dying to God dying
to themselves means living for Jesus but means eternal life.

I am sorry for every sin I ever committed that put Jesus to
death, I am horrified reading about the Super Bowl halftime
show it seemed more subtle in the 80's when she wore jeans
and cute jackets and gushed like a virgin. We were deceived
then it just seemed so remote now its like well Henry
Kissinger said if you cannot hear the drums of war your
deaf. if you cannot see the satanic in your face Madonna
black mass for what it was your blind. I just want to be
found watching and waiting for Jesus so that I can escape
what's coming and more importantly this world is a cheap
vain counterfeit of heaven I know its not the real thing
anymore it just leaves me wanting to go sit on the ark and
close the door and wait not have to go out in it everyday
and dance.

Footloose was making fun of the true church who wanted to be
humble and pious and righteous saying to my generation it
was ok to rebel and party we listened. But when the party
ends there is hell to pay no one seems to want to or be able
to think that way. Its like the drunk running up a bar tab
knowing he cannot pay and is going to jail but as long as
the drinks are flowing its all ok and the sober guy is the
fool. someone had a dream on this site where he was trying
to warn others and finally had to run for the shed I want to
leave the party its time to start running but there are
people blocking the door. I am in a pit I am in need of
urgent prayer we all need prayer please Lord let none of us
watching be ashamed let them be ashamed who transgress
without cause. Those putting me in despair do not even
realize their being used its like the matrix where anyone
not taking the red pill of Jesus blood can become an agent
at any time only Jesus can save me I am not worthy of His
mercy but I hope I have helped and encouraged some on this
site I am just hanging on by the tips of my nails for Jesus
and pushed by a phone call and situation I cannot solve into
a true despair while realizing in the past I was manipulated
into situations that led me down the course of this world I
do not want to be entangled in it again.
